I have to give credit for my success to W5ZJ Randy. He told me the best time would be around midnight  on  40m. I started listening a little after 11pm and they did start decoding when it started to get daylight at 3Y0K. I'm happy to get to work them once and any more contacts will be a bonus.

Way to go Mike!  I'd shut everything down but came back into the shack and got on 40M.  3Y0K is off the end of my inverted V: a nice null!  I got them,at 0554Z with a -15/-17 exchange.  Thanks!
You are up be headed for Dardanelle in a few hours!
